- You’re a team player and thrive as part of a busy team
- You have previous catering or fast-paced service experience
- You have a basic knowledge of health and safety practices
- The Food Hygiene Level 2 qualification is great, but not essential as we can provide the training!
Why Join the Aspens Family?
Great Work-Life Balance
You’ll work Monday to Friday during school term time - that means no late nights, no weekends and no working at Christmas!
- 20 hours per week
- 38 weeks per year - what will you do with all that time off?
- Highly Competitive Hourly Pay
Career Growth and Development
- Join a fast-growing, ambitious company. We have no ceiling in terms of where you can take your career in catering.
